Item CB 15/41 referred from Cabinet minutes of 24 June 2015

RESOLVED:  That the recommendations at Minute CB 15/41 be approved.

The joint report of the Chief Executive and Director of Finance and Transformation reviewed the Local Code of Corporate Governance which was considered to require no amendment apart from some minor textual adjustments.  It was noted that the Code had been considered by the Audit Committee on 22 June which had requested that reference to that Committee be included in section 2.2 of the Code in respect of the independent scrutiny role of the Audit Committee.  It was also suggested that section 4.1 be expanded regarding the means of securing transparent decisions.

RECOMMENDED:  That the revised Local Code of Corporate Governance set out at Annex 1 to the report, as amended by the Audit Committee, be adopted by the Council.
